WPX Battery-Operated Controller

Tougher, Easier and Longer Lasting

Get reliable automatic irrigation control when you don’t have AC power with the WPX Series Battery-Operated Controller.

Installs Anywhere.
Even Underwater
The WPX’s waterproof case and dual-sealed battery chamber ensure long life even when installed in a wet, muddy valve box. In harsh environment testing the WPX outlasted the competition by 70%. After being submerged in water at alternating extreme hot and cold temperatures the WPX was still going strong after the competition failed in less than two days.

Easier to Program
Common programming features are easily accessed on one screen, making programming quick and easy. The LCD screen is 85% larger than the Hunter® Node and the programming icons are big and easy to understand. Manual watering is easy with a dedicated button.

Longer Lasting
The WPX operates for one year using one 9-volt alkaline battery, or more than two years with two 9-volt alkaline batteries.

Harsh Environment Testing

To test the WPX’s performance in harsh conditions and compare against other battery-operated controllers, Rain Bird used a new test to simulate the worst possible environment for a controller—life in a flooded valve box at extreme temperatures.

During the harsh environment test the WPX and a competitor’s controller were repeatedly submerged in saltwater at alternating extreme hot and cold temperatures for more than four days.

The results: The WPX lasted 70% longer than the competition. The competition failed within two days. The WPX was still operating after the test concluded. The WPX's dual-sealed battery chamber prevented water intrusion for long battery life and reliable controller performance.
